Tuesday’s Chatter. #1
Good morning on this first Tuesday of the New Year. I did make a little name change for Tuesday’s post since it can refer to the critter’s chattering or mine, so it fits good. I kind of like to chatter sometimes, which basically means talking without saying a lot. That can be fun sometimes. Or not. But I still enjoy doing it. And these days there is not a lot to talk about it seems. Also, I am not sure if any photos will show up today. I will try, might it might not work.
I am having some problems with my laptop the last few days. Meaning, it does not want to work properly. It is what I call “glitchy”. It does not work smoothly like it should. It will kind of freeze for a few seconds, then start to work again. So if I upload a photo and it freezes like that, then I have to cancel and try again. I must admit, it is getting a bit irritating at times. And sometimes it just shuts down the program I am using, which means I lose things and have to start over.
And sometimes it just freezes and stays that way. Nothing to do but shut it down, which is not really the best thing to do, but the only way to deal with it. I know nothing about our modern technology, such as computers and phones. I know it is great when the work, and not great when they do not work. But when it comes to fixing problems with these things, forget it, I just cannot do it. I probably should not use computers, I am just not computerized enough. But that is the way it goes. I still like them. I like phones too, but I certainly can’t use my phone to write a blog post.
I know some people do it. Perhaps if my posts were shorter and had no pictures I could do it. But I still do not think it would be fun. I like to see what I am doing. Oh well. Does this count as a ‘rant’?😂 It was not supposed to be, just some chatter for Tuesday. It will not be like this every Tuesday, honest. The birds are busy out there, it is snowing lightly, but the windows are still frosted so I can’t see what is going on. It is milder today again, 2F (-17C), so maybe I will spend some time outside with the birds today. I hope you all have a most wonderful day and God bless!

The Investigators, Inc. Mystery Of The Beginning. Chapter 1, Part B.
“I don’t like the idea of you going by yourself Steve,” said Kat, at least I think it was Kat, it is getting hard to tell Kat and Jennifer apart sometimes. “I agree,” said Jennifer, “you need your wife along, so I’m going too.” “Wait,” I said, “I will not be alone, the cats will be with me and it is a simple case. It is obvious the son is doing things to make his mom look crazy so he can take control of the estate, find the gold and be a wealthy man. I am sure we can handle that on our own, right kittens?” Meow,meow=Yep, this is easy case, we go and help human widow person. Meow.=Right, we stop mean son and help human widow. He not nice man at all. We all talked some more, Kat and Jennifer come and sit on either side of me.
“Okay,” said one of them, “if you can tell us apart then we will stay behind.” “Right,” said the other. I look at both of them. “No,” I said, “the cats and I are going alone, but we will go and talk it over first. Chung, is everything working with the cats?” “Oh yes,” he said, “everything is good, working good.” So the cats and I went for a walk so we could talk things over. “Okay guys,” I said, “this is just between us.” Right!, they both said at the same time. “I think this is a trap for us,” I said, “who do we know that fits the size of this woman’s son?”
Both their ears go straight up and they say, John! “Yes, he is the only one that would know about our first case,” I said, “only people in that town knew what had happened, it was not a big well know case. And this is something John would try. I am sure he will know we will figure it is a trap, but that is part of his plan, it is a challenge to us. This is our chance to stop John once and for all. Shall we do it?” Yes, they both shout together. Meow,meow=This good time to stop John, we 3 easy do that this time. Meow.=Yep, I agree, we go get him now.
“Okay, but remember, this will not be too easy, John will be waiting for us and likely has others helping him,” I said, “so we will need to be extra careful. But if we bring others with us, John will just disappear and our chance to stop him will be gone. So no talking about this to anyone.” Meow,meow.=Don’t worry, we not talk, this important. “Okay, so now we get ready to go, we will leave this afternoon,” I told them. We go back inside to let the others know what we decided. Kat and Jennifer go to get my things ready and the cats go to get their stuff. The other girls leave too but Baldwin, Rock and Chung stay to talk with me. “I don’t know Steve,” said Baldwin, “I smell a trap here.”
“We will be fine,” I said, “with both cats along it will be easy. Just expose this guy for what he is, find the gold if possible and we will be back in no time.” “Unless something goes wrong,” said Baldwin. “If you are trying to make me worry, it will not work,” I told him with a smile. I am not sure if he was convinced though. “I could go along with you Steve, you could just say I am your personal servant,” said Rock. “Thanks Rock, but if this lady is stressed by people, your size might really cause problems for her,” I said, “it really is best if we go by ourselves this time. We will call for help if we need it.” Meanwhile, as the cats were heading down to their playrooms. Scoop, Scoop! Meow,meow.=Oh, oh, we got scooped again. “Okay you two,” said Kat, “we are going to have a talk.” Both cats sigh.
To Be Continued.
